I create journals, personal journals, art , junk, keepsake, family memories and special event. I love using dies and stamps to personalize my work. It isn’t my hand drawn art, but my combinations, colors and vision combined to make special pieces.

I love the artsy multi pic frame. I also like to create things for my walls and have thrown away the glass and done some grunge work inside a frame. I like to use paper and inks to decorate small canvases too. The largest I’ve done is 6×6, but I’ve also done some 2×3 inch ones. Thanks for a chance to win.

I love to do mixed media canvases, cards, and journals, and play with multi-purpose cards, like pop-ups. Things that can be displayed for a while. These projects are all wonderful and I’ll be copying them! Thanks for sharing your wonderful ideas!

Lately I have been challenged to come up with ideas for retirement cards for a number of people to sign. Thinking outside the box was a very intense thoughtful experience.
First: was a picket fence box which I stained and decorated. Then I made tags which were used for well wishes to be written on and signed by all well wishes. As they were returned to me, I then decorated said tags and put in the box.
Second: was a binder and pages, I decorated the binder and sized, cut, and decorated all the pages where the wishes by individuals were placed.

I love making boxes that I can store my crafting and stamping supplies in. Also, making treat bags and boxes for my grandchildren. Love those kids to the moon and back and then some! Thanks for all your wonderful projects and products!!

I like mixed media canvas and boxes. Just got some old hinged-lid boxes at a yard sale and plan to use paper, chipboard, etc. to give them new life. I love taking things that others think have no use and making them not only usable, but beautiful again.

Thinking out of the box…love to experiment. I love making flowers with painted canvas and felt to use on hats ..or tiny ones for jewelry. Love all different handbags. Loved your use of sewing spools..clever. Also love to frame handmade artwork and to give as gifts. Nice variety!

Nice job on the projects. Besides cards I have an interest in paper automatons or Karakuri – paper toys that move. I have made a few that have been designed by others but haven’t made my own yet except for simple jumping jacks.

I love making boxes, gift and special. I have designed a special Night Before Christmas box that is abut 7″ tall and 4″ square that opens up to reveal a living room with a 3-D Christmas tree, presents, wreaths, fireplace, and various decorations. When closed it looks like a very prettily wrapped present. I use Elizabeth Crafts dies to make many of the decorations, including the 3-D tree (it also has a Swarofsky crystal angel on top).

I love all the ideas that have been shared but especially like the tote bag. I love to make paper flowers and have them on hand not only for cards but to use in various other ways to make someone’s day especially happy!

I like making little baskets/boxes that I can put some candies (especially chocolate) in as a table decoration/gift. I belong to several organizations, this is a relatively inexpensive but really pretty way to give something nice without spending a ton of money on a gift they will never use.

There is always such an array of cute projects on your blog and challenges! I look forward to seeing them!
Besides cards, I love to make small 3D treat holders, things I can have on hand and give out to others just because! Who doesn’t like a little treat every now and then? I also like to make home decor projects, especially for the holidays!

Wow! A lot of inspiration with these amazing projects today! The tote bag is my fav!!! I love scrapbooking and making home decorations but I’m planning to make pop up boxes and for the next Easter I would love to make some baskets.

I love all of your ideas! The dream catcher card is my favorite project. Thank you for all of your ideas!!! I’m working with the Deco Foil. It is so pretty on my cards. I stopped at my Staples store and they printed off 20 sheets of lazer print paper for me to use with the Deco Foil. Wish I could find design paper that is done with the lazer print, to use on my cards.

I enjoy anything crafty….I love to help create decorations for friends wedding/anniversary receptions. Because of card making, creating a sign for entryway of a party is a snap. I enjoy arranging flowers, gardening, making garden basket gifts for friends. Still enjoy doing embroidery and knitting. Reading keeps me out of trouble some days and I do love to do all sorts of puzzles to keep my older mind active.

This summer is already chock full of birthday parties for friends and family so I already know what will be in store for me for the next couple of months. One of my BFF s Grand-daughter is getting married and they have just recently asked for my help at the reception so when we have that meeting I will have a whole lot of creativity flowing. I just love it.

I have some wood trays that I would like to decorate as well as an idea board for my (hopefully finished soon) craft room. I work for the Indian Education department, so love the first idea shown! I may use it for inspiration to decorate one of two bulletin boards in my classroom.

At present I am having great fun decorating Notebooks & Journals with Shimmer Sheetz….my next project will be a box, once again adorned with Shimmer Sheetz..
I do love the box that is featured in the Challenge Blog.
And Yes… Im another Aussie from Down Under !

I just love love love the dreamcatcher and feathers. My friend saw that and thought of me right away. 😊 I am in the process of making 4 memory boxes right now for my husband and my in-laws after we lost my father in-law last month. Very much a mixed Media project

Wonderful ideas from your design team! I like to create framed floral bouquets and nature or garden scenes. I also occasionally make party decorations and small favor containers but mostly I make cards.

I like to decorate photo albums for the bride and groom in their wedding colors. I then take pictures at their wedding, have them developed and put them in the album as a wedding gift!!
I also decorate albums in school colors for graduates!

I enjoy altering the little notebooks with fancy papers as gifts to tuck in the shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child. I also love making tags in a mixed media fashion and turning them into bookmarks for ladies I meet at the grocery store while shopping or in the ferry line, etc.

I love to alter tiny notepads and dress them up as gifts that I tuck in boxes for Operation Christmas Child. I also love making mixed media tags into bookmarks and giving them as random gifts to people I meet in stores or on the street.

I love to make shadow to give away as gifts. I’ve made a Halloween one using die cuts and a few Christmas ones using small ornaments and jingle bells along with pattern paper and word dies. I also enjoy scrapbooking.

I like to make paper luminaries. I decorate the outside AND inside of the “walls” so that when a tea light is placed inside, an image shows through that is not visible when no light is on. The effect is very cool.

I love making your glitter butterflies and roses. I make them into magnets, flower pokes and hair dangles. My grandmother loved her flower garden. After she passed I am a small bouquet of the roses and we layed them with her.

Fun projects! I love turning trash into treasures. The biggest from trash to treasure job that I’ve done lately was making tiles from cereal boxes cut with dies and then painting them like copper Verde. The tiles made a very lovely backsplash, but took forever to finish. A lot of cereal had to be eaten, thank goodness for our congregation who provided most the boxes.

I’m in charge of decorating the sanctuary of our church so, I have to think outside the box .Since my passion is paper, ink, glue and glitter.
We have 5 large crosses on the walls and I like to make stuff to hang on them. Like 16 inch round rosettes with beads, flowers, stamped encouraging words and etc. I simply make hangers on the back and hang with ribbon. A change in season and holidays are always a new adventure.

I would make a shadow box with the sand and shells I have collected over the years from the beaches I have visited over the years. I could use one of the beautiful papers for the background and cover one of the adhesive sheets with sand. I have so many ideas going through my head right now. What a fun challenge.

ATCs! Better than a tag, more challenging becsuse of the scale. A great inspiration to use the smaller stamps and dies that often are overlooked because they are small! Plus you can trade them with people who are so creative and inspiring. They are little in size but are fun to display in a small gallery

Great projects. Some projects I’ve made recently are luminaries using vellum and cardstock. They make great gifts and can be personalized for different holidays. My latest project was a 12 x 12 shadowbox frame of butterflies and flowers cut out of cardstock and enhanced with embellishments. I used my Cricut for these two projects but I combined them with stamping and embossing. I view a lot of You Tubes and combine different ideas together to create the final pieces. I love Els technique Fridays and don’t miss any demos.

My favorite non card project is the boxes I make from a 12″ X 12″ piece of designer cardstock. The bottom of the box is made from a matching solid color piece of cardstock cut to 11 and a half inch X 11 and a half inch. Then I decorate the top. I have made around 100 of these. I used them for gifts and for home deco.

I like to do so many “crafty” things with my die cuts, stamps, papers, coloring pages and whatever else I can find! Some of what I have made are wall art, boxes, 3D art, scrapbook pages, jewelry, mini books, chore charts, tags, and stationary. I get so many ideas from your website and can’t help but put them to use!

I love taking ceramic tiles getting a person’s favorite quote printing it on drawing paper with different fonts sizes. Then using mogpoge, I adhere it to the tile. You can stamp the outer edges once it dries with flourish and add a three demensional flower and pearls. Place it on an easel and you have a beautiful yet simple display of their favorite quote. You can even include their picture for a wedding present, anniversary or retirement message.

Besides making cards I love scrapbooking, I love using the word dies on my pages and Karen Burniston characters make my grandchildren love their pages. The tags on the blog are so beautiful, all of them!

I don’t do the faith journal in my Bible that is so trendy now. I created an 8 x8 album with pictures, quotes & scripture that have spoken to my heart & given me strength through some hard challenges I’ve faced.

I love working with wooden pieces e.g. doll cradle and frames, and canvases. I hoard anything I think I might use. I also incorporate my folk art into some projects. I am currently on the hunt for marble tiles to stamp on and turn into coasters.

I play around with composition notebooks. I turn them into journals using your double sided tapes. I like to add decorating papers inside the book and put expanding pockets inside the front and back covers. I use different patterns of coordinating papers for each surface and use hair bands from the dollar store to keep the book closed. It is a lot of fun and comes out beautiful. Until I discovered the double sided tape it was more messy to cover the books and they did not look as nice as they do now with the tape. Thanks!

I like to stamp on candles as gifts! I also stamp/collage on canvases! Also like to make 3D pop-up cards that are non-traditional cards!! I’ve also decorated wooden trays, picture frames and cigar boxes!
I’ve made cigar box purses!! Also, made many memory books!!

I often give wine as a gift or bring it with me to get-togethers. I like to make wine tags to put on the wine to dress it up. I make the tags slightly oversized and usually write a small note on the back of the tag. If I’m feeling really inspired, I’ll make a fancy wine bag

Who doesn’t love a gift in a pretty box? Making boxes and decorating them to match the gift inside is so much fun! And of course, one needs a pretty tag like these to add the finishing touch.
Thank you and your team for offering us your wonderful items with which to create !

Love your projects that the designers made. I like using and making 3-D items like the tote bag, purses, boxes, canvas coverings. Handmade albums, all done up with die-cut flowers. Plenty of free templates to use from card magazines and other places. Lots of ideas are out there,just waiting to be used. Need more hours in a day and stuff to make…. I can always dream…

I love making Christmas ornaments with mandala types of stamps with different layers. I cut each layer out, color, glaze, glitter, and put crystals on them, then pop each layer up so that it’s 3D. I do this on both sides of the ornament. The result is beautiful! I love all the projects the designers made here!

I love the Card holder by Birget. This die is one of my most favorites. I love to make boxes of all sorts (gift boxes, presents) I also love making collages with dies stacked and story boxes. I love Inspirational works and naturally, pop it up cards. Oh, then there’s card in a box and treat boxes!. Great challenge this month.

Hi, for the challenge anything but a card……I would use dies……Probably the springtime Daisy’s….They are so beautiful….With clear double side adhesive, transfer sheet and micro fine glitters…I would create tranferable Daisy’s to go on a mirror and or a door net…..So when the door net is closed, people would see it and wouldn’t walk right true it!!!!!

I love putting together and decorating wood chip boxes. I purchased one at SA Crafter, painted it with chalk paint, covered it with coordinating scrapbook pages, decopaged all the paper and had a blast embellishing it. Wish I could add a picture!

Love the bag!!! I love making tote bags for card sets. It gives a different style to them. I also like making tags, however I make bottle tags so that the person can give the tag as a card with a bottle of whatever as the gift!

All of the creations are so beautiful. I especially like the projects with the feathers. The feathers die is just beautiful. I’m a scrapbooker mostly, but I’m working on cards. I would love to be able to make cards as beautiful as Els and the Design Team. Beautiful!

I love to make scrapbook pages honoring someone’s pet. Most times I get asked because someones pet has passed away and they would like a memorial. I get photos and make a scrapbook page and frame it. It makes people cry but they are happy tears knowing they have something to hang on the wall and get to see their beloved companion everyday!

I love to make cards and to watch your videos, cause I have learned some new things. I try to think and come up with something different for our Sunnyside Police Officers in September 9/11 lunch my church puts on for them. I did a Badge Magnet for them but when I have to make them I need to make 60 to 70. Thank you

Great ideas, I really like the tote idea. I use my die cuts for my monthly ATC card club and also my mixed media page layouts. Double-sided tape and double-sided sheets are wonderful and really cut the time In putting your designs together.

I mostly like to make cards, although I also enjoy making tags using funny (or sometimes mushy!) sentiments. I then tuck them into my husband’s work bag to surprise him. It’s a fun way to give him a smile!

I mostly do cards, but do some tags, and scrap booking with die cuts too. The live, laugh, love — poppies frame is very inspiring. That is something I may try soon. The tote bag was also a great idea for me. There are so many great designers working with Elizabeth Craft — thank you for having them all.

OMG You have the best design team! Everything that was created was so awsome! The candles with the die used as a holder… WOW! The words on the spools a original idea. And the pictures each one is so pretty. The box so nice The tags and scrapbook page are all so creative and just show off the products!!! I just love seeing all of the ideas it gets me so excited to start playing and trying new things THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!

I love decorating glass candle holders for a particular season or holiday with beautiful ribbon and embellishments. It makes such a nice decoration for a table top and adds a festive touch for special occasions!

I like instant gratification so tend to work on things that can be done quickly. Those things include Tags, special tags for special occasions, hand made themed books and handmade paper bag journals. They are quick – I can make several in a day if not more or I can make them more intrinsic by adding mixed media. I just love all the ideas that you include in your blogs, Thanks!

The tote is a huge inspiration. I have been toying with the idea of creating a paper tote to use as a gift bag. I can’t wait to try it out. I am a card maker and a scrapbooker and i love to give a set of cards as a hostess gift. I create a box out of sturdy paper to hold the cards and decorate with die cuts. I just used a bunch of your cute dies to make slider cards. They are adorable!

Still love to scrapbook, trying to incorporate more of the mixed media into my work, as I love the techniques. These are awesome examples. I try to keep the blog pages open while looking for page ideas. thank you!

Love the butterfly lace tag. Such bright spring like colors. A happy tag.
I like to make quilted cards. I die muslin fabric with distress inks. My new favorite are the moda dies. I take the muslin fabric & back it with steam a seam then die cut moda flowers & leaves as appliques. Adhere to background fabric then free motion quilt.

Wow! What nice examples! I like to make tags to go on wine bottles for a house warming gift or hostess gift. Plus love to take a plain bag and make a decorated gift bag. People love the gift bags and they can re-use them too!

While I may not be half as creative as those who created these beautiful projects, I really like recycling boxes or food containers, decorating them with coloured papers that I stick using my Xyron and with die-cuts, which I then use to store pens, scraps of paper or finished projects.

A scrapbook page with pictures from the Strawberry Festival in Plant City Florida is my current project. I just LOVE the strawberry die cuts to accent my pages! Such fun memories with friends and I can even add chocolate to my berries! 🙂

Love all of these awesome projects! Thanks for the inspiration to try something different! I have been wanting to make some box cards! I love making cards with different folds but haven’t done any in a long time!

My newest fav thing is mixed media….I love die cutting from coaster board and/or 110# cardstock and stacking and adhering several die cuts together for lots of dimension. I do this with word dies, botanicals, any dies and then I glue them onto my canvas and coat with gesso. Then it’s adding inks, metallic pastes, beads, etc. to finish. I’m working on one right now that I’m really loving, especially since I’m fairly new to mixed media….fingers crossed.

Beautiful ways to think outside the box.
I especially love the tags and scrapbook pages. I use the sentiments all the time. Love love love Elizabeth by Design. I missed you at the Scrapbook Expo in Washington. Hope to see you next year.

Hello, last year discovered your site and watch your videos almost daily. I make greeting cards and basically have learned to do it on my own and by watching your videos and those ideas others share. Do to my disability, I cannot join crop clubs, etc. So you have become my daily inspiration and I am grateful for all the hints and tips you provide. I enjoy looking at others ideas and creations and to see the new items that are on the market and how to use them. I have noticed a great improvement in the cards I make because of you. Thank You for your help.

I like to make four sided retangle lantern boxes with a removeable lid. I add a battery powered tea light for alumination through the cut away design on the sides of the box. I especially like to decorate the top of the box with hand made flowers, pearls, and ribbons and a bow. Atleast one of the cut away sides gets flowers as well. For the greeting and sentiment, I hang stamped and embossed tags from the top.

While I love to make wall hangings with inspirational script included from Susan Cannon, for friends, my favorite project of all has been making music boxes covered with Susan Tierney-Cockburn’s beautiful garden selections, for my girls. I love that Susan has flowers that are so meaningful to times in their lives, and that I can select the tunes the boxes play to truly customize these treasures.

Besides scrapbooking I like to make photo holders. They are really fun to put together, and the recipients seem to appreciate the photos of their great grandkids. 😏 I like to do bookmarks as well. Other than that I haven’t ventured to far…yet. 😊

BANNERS. I like to make banners for many different occasions. Showers, welcome home, get well, Merry Christmas, etc. People love them. My daughter left her welcome home banner up (coming home from the hospital with her first baby) for about a year!!

Beautiful and creative minds. I love, love, love the candle holder made from the pocket die. I have that die. Guess what I’ll be doing this afternoon. I love all of Elizabeth Craft dies. I own many. I love making albums, cards, 3d houses and anything paper craft.

What a great idea to use wooden spools to hold the sentiments!! I am a die hard card maker & scrap booker (no pun intended ) I haven’t really gone beyond that but will maybe eventually do some home décor items.

I love taking boxes and hot gluing them together to make custom storage for all my awesome stuff that I use, and cover with so many different kinds of papers. Did you know that Wallpaper, from sample books do GREAT for these projects ?! The double sided adhesives work hand and hand with them. No one believes you made them, and Want one !
